These restless eonscriptien- ists are only held in check awaiting the Premier's word. His promise, made some weeks ago, was: 'If the young unmarried men do not come forward voluntarily he will either release the married men from their pledge or introdpee a bill into Parliament to compel the young men to serve, whieh, if passed, wonld, mean that the married men would be! held to their enlistment, If "hd Parliament did not pass such a bill the married men would be automati- cally released from their engagement to serve." That was a very definite announce- ment, and there is nothing to show! that Mr. Asquith has changed his mind one whit with respect to it. He may say that the time has not come! for action--that he has not the data that convinces him that the voluntary enlistment system of recruiting has failed--and he can refuse to imple- ment his promise. The situation is, a critical one. GREED AND GRAFT ABOUND. Everyman, which is edited by Dr.! Sarolon, has become more outspoken ! with regard to the contract scandals of Britain. At the outbreak of the | war Dr. Sarolea says all the indus-| tries of Britain should have been na- | tionalised, so that the Government | t me could have coutrolled the avenues of the fanks of the new regiments.

THE INDIAN, The Indian is a melancholy speci men of man's inhumanity to man Al one time in the history of country the Indian owned all of the real estate from New York to San Francisco, but he has been steadily pushed back by the relentless and highly-bunioned foot of the white man, until now he is a human dere- lict, with nothing to sustain him but hope and a massive appétite The early Indian was a very cearse person, being short on table man- ners and long on the most fatal forms of assassination. Miles Stand- ish in his racy and piquant memoirs, complained bitterly of the lack of polish shown by the female red man, who constantly ate pie with a knife and left her spoon in her coffee cup. William Penn, the only naturalized American who ever consorted with the Indian for any length of time without being succeeded by an obit- uary notice, tried for years to in- our | terest the red brother in the quarter- ly bath, but failed miserably in the attempt ard passed away soon of- ter with a look of chagrin upon his face.
